Dynamically calling EJBs

Question

Hello,
I'm reasonably new to working with EJBs so perhaps this isnt possible... Can you dynamically call an EJB at runtime ie like reflection.
I know once the bean has been created I can use reflection to call the method but how can I create the bean from the beans remote home interface?
Many thanks
Michael

Got it
EJBMetaData md = theHome.getEJBMetaData();
Class homeClass = md.getHomeInterfaceClass();
EJBObject theRemote = (EJBObject)invoke(homeClass,theHome,"create");
static Object invoke(Class c,Object obj,String mname){
      Method[] methods = c.getMethods();
      String name=null;
      Object r= null;
      try {
          for(int i = 0; i<methods.length ;i++) {
             name = methods.getName();
if(name.startsWith(mname)) {
r = methods[i].invoke(obj,null);
} catch(Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
return r;
